The Program in Educational Transformation at Georgetown University seeks to hire a junior non-tenure line faculty member to teach in an interdisciplinary, residency-based master's degree program that focuses on transformational practices in PK-12 education in the United States. Rooted in experiential learning and focused on the challenges of urban education, the MAET currently consists of two concentrations: Advocacy & Policy and Learning & Teaching. We aim to add Instructional Design & Technology, and Leadership & Innovation in coming years. For the 2019 academic year, we are hiring for the Advocacy and Policy concentration.

We are seeking a diverse faculty with a range of skills and experiences. Successful applicants will have disciplinary strengths in teaching and research; field-based experience in teaching, education advocacy, or education policy; and a willingness to work, teach, and collaborate in an innovative, interdisciplinary residency-based program. We seek candidates with a keen understanding of the challenges and opportunities of advocating for children and learners, the organizational and interest group landscape of contemporary education reform, and the central policy debates in PK-12 education in the US.

The MA in Educational Transformation, housed in the Georgetown University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, is committed to both social justice within education and excellence in teaching and research. The program seeks to work at the interface of educational policy, teacher preparation, innovative technologies, and transformative leadership by ensuring that all its graduates understand the essential elements of effective instruction and the dynamics of transforming educational practices to achieve both equity and excellence in urban school environments.
